It's very unlikely that there's enough variability that some people can tolerate 10x the amount of C02 with zero effects.
But if I'm wrong, you can look to the 3 other studies I linked that weren't submariners. The studies that test C02 in isolation show no effect at common indoor levels (and levels several times higher).
Poor ventilation might have an impact on cognition, but it doesn't look like C02 is the cause.
- mleonhard 6y agoI now believe you are right. Thanks for explaining carefully and kindly. :) Now I'm curious about which exhalations are the culprit. "The major VOCs in the breath of healthy individuals are isoprene (12–580 ppb), acetone (1.2–1,880 ppb), ethanol (13–1,000 ppb), methanol (160– 2,000 ppb), and other alcohols." https://doi.org/10.1080/10473289.1999.10463831 https://doi.org/10.1080/10473289.1999.10463831
